Repository & history

Insights

A dashboard built from your Git history — no service, no account, just git log read locally. Open it from the repo-settings gear next to the toolbar tools.

The insights dashboard

Panel What it tells you
Summary cards Commits per day, contributors, files touched, lines changed
Weekly churn Additions against deletions, week by week
Top contributors By commits and by lines
File hotspots The most-changed files — click one to jump into its history

Filter the whole thing by 30 days / 90 days / 1 year / all time.

Hotspots are the interesting panel: a file at the top of that list, week after week, is usually telling you something about the design rather than about the people editing it.

For the same history as a moving picture, see timelapse.
